It costs ~$26000 to collect 1000 Gold Points. While doing so you could potentially get $30,150 of value back if you requested RT tickets to:
1) Guam $1500
2) Grise Fiord, Canada $7000
3) Antartica $12000

today!
- Rode silver from Loudoun Gateway. Station manager was incredibly nice! He took the time to chat and make the journey that much more personable. 🙏🏼
- Our train operator informed the train of slowdowns due to heat!
Great Job WMATA!
oh my god, ultimate Uber hack discovered. I’m taking a two hour trip and my bank declined the charge because it thought it was fraudulent. Uber Immediately lowered the price by 25%
Was at the Amtrak Cumberland station a few months ago and this guy came up to me and told me to take a picture with him. Never saw anything of him ever again

HAYDEN IT DOES NOT RECEIVE 1 RIDER A DAY. THAT IS THE ROUNDED UP NUMBER. CURRENT USAGE CONSISTS OF ONE GUY BOARDING 3 TIMES A WEEK IN THE MORNING AND ME OCCASIONALLY IN AFTERNOONS. IT IS THE LEAST USED STATION IN THE USA

66 is my favorite NER train. Love to take a late night flight into EWR, take NJ transit to Newark Penn or bus/PATH to NY Penn, sit underground for a few hours under NYPenn and arrive in New England where I need to go early in the morning

overhead wire issues I have decided to stop paying taxes
Hi
@wmata
G. Ridley, Currently Station Managing at Ballston, is your greatest hire ever. I really love his announcements for each train, and have for years… someone needs to give him the keys to Union Station
@the_transit_guy
Fun fact to get into the station from the side where the actual town of Jessup is you have to climb over a fence and through thorn bushes

It’s actually a result of SkyWest cutting corners, they have a subsidy contract to serve both airports from chicago ohare but can’t fill a 50 seat jet so they stop at multiple airports along the way
The part about it being $2855 is probably a huge fluke

The last time I tried booking this flight they didn’t have the nonstop tickets from JLN-DEC so I considered booking a flight to Chicago and try to get off in Decatur but I decided it was too risky and didn’t do it
money spent renovating the bathrooms: 20 million
money spent sending the station managers to a cia sponsored intensive training camp so that they can tell the customers the bathroom doesn’t exist with enough seriousness and believability to pass a lie detector test: 675 million
